Del Gerro Tower

A Renaissance watchtower, which was a part of the coastal defensive system developed during the 16th and 17th centuries to defend the coast from Barbaresque pirates’ incursions.

Although there are documents proving the existence of three towers in the park’s limits, the Del Gerro tower, a Renaissance fort (16th c.) is the only remaining one. It is one of the coast’s most outstanding towers. It has a circular shape, shaped like a truncated cone divided in 2 parts. We must point out King Charles V coat-of-arms, which rests over three consoles.
It owes its name to its strange form as a “pitcher” (gerro or pitxer)

Access: Please see the Torre del Gerro-Cova Tallada route.
